'''''Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions''''' is the ninth album of [[England|English]] [[post-punk]] group [[Killing Joke]]. It was released on [[Compact disc|CD]] and double LP in November 1990. This album features [[Martin Atkins]] (formerly of [[Public Image Ltd.]] and [[Brian Brain]]) on drums. The album also saw a return to a rawer, guitar-based sound from the keyboards of their previous album [[Outside the Gate]], and it was perhaps the closest they had come to making a metal album. The riff from "Intravenous" would be reprised on 2006's "Majestic". "Money is Not Our God" was the only single from the album, and failed to chart.
The album was rereleased on [[October 15]], [[2007]] by Candlelight Records in three editions: double LP, normal CD and a deluxe edition with a cd and a [[dual disc]].<ref>{{cite web

}}</ref> The double LP edition features the track "Age of Greed" (live) as a bonus, whereas both CD reissues also feature four tracks from a very rare 1989 Cassette demo. One of these tracks, "Jubilation", is actually an early version of "The Beautiful Dead" and had been released previously on a [[flexi disc]]. Of the other tracks, only "The Fanatic" was known, having been performed live at several concerts in 1989. The deluxe edition featured all bonus tracks on a separate [[dual disc]], with the dvd-side containing the [[music video]] for "Money is Not Our God".

==Trivia==
{{trivia|date = October 2007}}
*The album was initially recorded with a different bass player, ''Dave "Taif" Ball''.
*The eyes on the cover of the album are not the band's, but belong to actor [[Bela Lugosi]]. The top pair is upside-down. The cover for the cassette version shows all four pairs upside-down.
*The back of the CD bears two [[Latin]] phrases: the first, "''hoc volo, sic iubeo, sit pro ratione voluntas''" means: "I wish it, I command it. Let my will take the place of a reason", and was quoted from Roman poet [[Juvenal]]; the second, "''semper imitatum nunquam idem''" means: "always imitated, never replicated".
